An (absolute) monarchy is by definition an autocracy, and a monarch an autocrat. And we don’t know whether he wants to rule as Shah or not based on his statements, because even if he did, it would be in his best interest to deny it and promise democratization. So again: trusting an autocrat at their word, especially if they are promising to bring you democracy if you just let them take the reigns first, is foolishly naïve.

Investigations by Haaretz and TheMarker reported the existence of an Israeli-linked influence network aimed at shaping Iranian public opinion and promoting Pahlavi as a potential post–Islamic Republic leader. The reports claim the network was operated by a private entity funded by Israeli government resources, used artificial intelligence, and relied on fake online accounts, particularly Persian-language profiles. The network allegedly recruited Persian speakers who reposted content from Reza Pahlavi.[99]

Whether or not he claims so, he’s pro-US and pro-Israel so they are pushing hard to restore the monarchy. Any support you see for him is likely astroturfed

Edit: besides, trusting an autocrat who promises to “transition to democracy at some point in the future” is the stupidest thing one can do during a popular uprising

The west is really pushing for the Shah to take over, huh

There were some reports from Arak that workers started taking over factories. But no, what gets reported are some fringe monarchists.

Btw, the Iranian communist party talks of 600ish dead and 11000 arrested. Those seem more believable numbers. Protests seem to still be ongoing on a large scale, I hope they bring down the Ayatollah regime. All power to the workers!

They might not be “the good guys”, and their secondary objectives are despicable, but their first objective is an end to the occupation, and they certainly are a resistance group.

Kuh, bist du schon wieder hörnig auf haupt?

mille, not mile. mille means thousand, so “per mille” means “per thousand”, just as “per cent” means “per hundred”. so 10‰ is 1%

This really didn’t need the big nose. Using antisemitic tropes in critique of Israel plays right into the hands of their propaganda. Those genociders want to be the victims, so any critique can be stamped as antisemitism. Don’t play their game.

Nah that was an animal

The first settlements were established in 1909, and the 1920s/30s were full of Zionist terrorism, bombings and massacres by paramilitaries

“The essence of my happiness is fighting for the happiness of others. It’s strange, why is it that in grammar, the word “happiness” can only be singular? That is counter to its meaning, after all. … If it turns necessary to die for the common happiness, then I’m braced to.”

What a badass.

lol

None, why would I want any?

Eww, not a big fan to randomly have dead chickens in my feed :c
